...surely, they have performed Satisfaction more times than Judy Garland sang Over the Rainbow. Yet Jagger sells it with the vigor of a Baptist preacher in a backwoods tent. In these moments, the shock of the old is that he and Richards--and guitarist Ron Wood and drummer Charlie Watts--make it sound...
...arena filler without any of the usual soul-selling--are not particularly surprising. Imagine if your livelihood depended on constantly being with, and agreeing with, your three best friends from college.

Seeing A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (even if it does portray Santa Claus early on as a grouchy bigot) can raise as many childhood memories of the holiday as tinsel and peppermint. And so we buy the DVDs for our kids, ensuring another generation of royalties for the stop-motion animation team of Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass...
